I like them! I'm hardly a shoe historian, but treating this like a puzzle: the vamp looks too high for a modern street shoe, but not high enough to look 20s/30s vintage to me. They actually look a lot like character shoes (as in shoes for dancing) to me, although those typically have a...

At the moment I'm really into Coup de Fouet, a Caron perfume that came out in 1954. It smells like carnation and cloves, and it's just a really different take on the whole floriental type.

I'm getting in on this one a bit late, but the Sephora-only O.P.I. line has a color called "Lost Without My GPS" that's a really great coral. My sister got it for me for Christmas and I love it.

Thanks, guys!--I was thinking out of desperation with the sandpaper, but now I'll have to go find some and give it a (gentle) try... Oh, and thanks, cherry lips! He is a cutie, although one of the stubbornest (and definitely the smelliest) dogs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Silly question--is it possible to make the soles of saddle shoes any grippier? I had a pair of Muffy's shoes a few years ago and I loved them, but they were SO slick--walking on anything smoother than concrete (so the floors of shopping malls, supermarkets, etc) was a bit hazardous. I think...

I have ones almost identical to those (t-strap, but the front looks exactly the same), and I love them. I haven't worn them for an extended session because it's still too cold, but my impression of them so far (having worn them out to dinner a few times, and around my house for stretches of...

When I was in high school a radio station had a contest to win concert tickets where the best sob story would win them. I phoned in and delivered a lengthy explanation of how I had an eardrum condition where if I couldn't hear this particular band, my head would explode, all the while...

Hmm, how many of us do we need to form a posse Jesse-James-style? ;) I do love the zoom feature on their website--if you're on the crafty side, you can get a really detailed look at all sides of a piece. I know a few people who've actually counted out stitches on sweaters they were curious...

Oh, give it time...I'm always leaving notes for friends of mine I see regularly. I also once spent about two hours playing Scrabulous while on the phone with the guy I was playing with. Facebook, you cruel, timesucking mistress...

Well, like other people have said, I really don't think it's a question of anything being "banned"--sounds like you're just in an odd area without much demand for religious decorations and cards. I usually have the opposite problem; where I grew up it was often kind of tough to find secular...

I caved and got them in red--big thanks for the heads-up! (Student loans? What student loans?!)

I just joined the Facebook group as well--I'd be the Meghan with the markedly unfriendly profile photo. (I promise, I do smile occasionally; it's a bit of an in-joke.) And I'm another one happy to have random friend additions--I figure if I friended back the girl from gradeschool I don't...

I'll be the lone voice of ghostie dissent: I like being pale. I think I look fine with a bit more color (I grew up in California, so usually got a bit browner during the summer), but I just prefer not having a tan. Makes me think I'm safe(r) from skin cancer. :p As far as other folks go...

Since it's already dark here at the night-owl time of 4:30 pm, this photo is rather crap. BUT, it's my second attempt at pin-curl-ness (we...won't speak about the first try...), and I want a RECORD OF THIS! Hee. I was horrified when I first took them out--frizz city!--but I rather like it...

As long as you promise to let me in on what moisturizer you use, we are ON. :p
